<p>top 20% in a class of ~250 (prestigious high school, best in state)

<p>ur courseload seems somewhat weak if you have only had one AP test.</p>

3

<p>I can see how it seems that way but my school, although great in academics, only offers two AP's junior year (AP US history and AP Physics B). My courseload this year should be ranked as most rigorous.</p>

<p>To add some EC's if anyone is interested: Violin for 5+ years, school orchestra, clinic volunteering. </p>

<p>I'll be applying to the college of arts and sciences that are available (hoping for a hard science major like Biology).<br>
My #1 choice would be UCB or Hopkins, but I also love UW and UCSD.</p>

<p>i have a new thread since I was missing some info:</p>

<p><a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/592748-berkeley-upenn-hopkins-hopeful-i-will-chance-back.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/592748-berkeley-upenn-hopkins-hopeful-i-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a> </p>

<p>and once again, my courseload is not weak at all, my high school is known for its tough academics, it just doesn't offer 20 AP's like other schools. You can take 2 AP's junior year, and up to 6 (although its considered near suicide) your senior year. Our school's focus is on getting 5's on the AP exam's, so we're known for having really good teachers in AP courses such as AB calc, BC calc, Physics C, and economics.</p>
